sunday morning, quiet…
What do you do on Sunday mornings? I know many of us get up and go to church and thank the Good Lord for allowing us to see another day. Many of us take the time out to be still, relishing the last day of the weekend before hitting the hustle and bustle of the work week on Monday.
I use Sunday to reconnect. To look back at the past week and decide what lessons I need to pay more attention to. I think about how I am living my life, and what I have to do to stay afloat in these days. I thank God for waking me up, and for loving me, and for constantly blessing me. I also aim to be quiet. That quiet allows me to breathe and move and be.
When you flitter about, constantly trying to figure this and that out, you miss out on hearing your Spirit direct you. This morning, I did something I haven’t done in a long time. Before I got out of bed, I sat cross-legged and just…breathed. I let the quiet surround me, and I let those inhalations and exhalations release the worry that is always there. In my quiet, I listen for my Spirit to affirm who I am and what I need to do.
The remainder of my Sunday will be filled with football watching and packing and homework. I have so much to do, but I don’t worry. I have full faith that I am in exactly the spot I’m supposed to be in. I believe that God will continue to prepare the table before me. I think that is the true meaning of happy…at least for me. There is nothing in this world that I consider to be out of reach; nothing that I feel that I cannot do. How powerful is that?!
Be quiet. Sit still for a little while and listen. You will always get an answer to whatever is on your mind. And you will continue to move forward to being who you are supposed to be.
I know I’ve been changed,
~ M
